ALERTING AND ALARM DEVICES AND
SYSTEMS
Alerting devices indicate the presence of certain sounds in the environment through
three primary methods: using louder or more audible tones, light flashes
or other visual signals, or vibration. Alerting devices include such
things as telephone ring signalers; door bell, door knock, baby cry, and
smoke alarms; weather radio warnings; vibrating watches and wake-up
clocks; wireless devices, and security alarms. This category includes both
stand-alone, single-purpose devices and integrated alerting systems.
